Nba is going to consider a mid season tournament similar to soccer according to Adam Silver. The Nba wants to try to get more excitement in the mid season and offer more than just the nba finals. The Nba wants the event to be in Vegas.

Here's a link

That's hard to wrap the brain around. They should worry about fixing the lottery first. Could be a great move if really thought out well. Not much you can take from soccer, but that would give one of the American main sports something totally different than all the rest. Give it a march madness flavor.

Sounds cool, everyone loves a trophy...  until you realize that there would be two championships in one season, which basically makes it worthless.  So, it's actually really DUMB.

 

Now, if they did like a FIBA tourney at the middle of the season each year, that would be interesting.

I repeat, why would anyone care?

Unless the winner of that tournament gets an automatic spot in either the Playoffs or the Draft Lottery, preferably the Lottery, then who cares? A trophy means nothing. The NBA doesn't need it's own version of the NIT.

Money. It's a way the NBA can get some more attention in the middle of the season and make more money. I'm not 100% sure what ideas they have planned but maybe when they say they want it to be like soccer maybe they can split players up into where they are from and put them on teams.

We know why the "NBA," sponsors, and media care, but why would anyone else care?

 

If I'm a team owner who is paying players, why would I want you to put them in an irrelevant tournament where they could be injured doing something that doesn't contribute to my team's wins? Same for me if I'm a player. If I'm a fan, I already have All-Star weekend, why would I need a publicity stunt like this?

 

But if my team could be guaranteed a spot in the NBA Draft Lottery if we win it, regardless of our record at the end of the year, then everyone would care. Everyone.

      More so than the stats it was against that killer defense in their own stadium, the same defense that made Mahomes look like a total JAG in the SB. The way Bryce handled adversity all game was simply phenomenal , the off script play in the end zone, scrambling out of a sack/safety to find XL deep was one of the best plays we have seen out of a Panthers QB on what should have been a game winning drive

      He’s about to be 0-12 in the conference finals and we’ve been outscored 16-4 in this series after only losing 2 games the previous two rounds and looking really in control of the series. There’s major red flags here as to why he seems so overmatched once he gets to a certain level. There comes a point where “just getting there” isn’t good enough. We are at that point.

      RODS gotta GO

      Listening to the post-game, and holy poo! Has Rod ever said, "this one's on me." When asked about composure, he threw Staal and Martinook under the bus. "Those 2 can't be your best players." Disregarding that he didnt answer the question, does he realize how that sounds to professional athletes? When asked how you prepare for game 4, "I'm not even thinking about that." Clearly, Rod.
